  5. "A French court ordered upstream internet intermediaries like Google and Cloudflare to actively block access to prominent pirating and illegal streaming sites at the request of sports rights holders. But Google is pushing back against this judgment, and its reasoning is surprisingly sound.

    The landmark decision places direct responsibility on upstream internet providers rather than on illegal streaming services, which are notoriously difficult to bring to justice in a local court, especially when they exploit loopholes in international law or employ backup domains and servers that go online when their main platforms are blocked.

    To effectively block access to these sites, which operate across multiple domains, servers, and web addresses, Google would have to use a combination of DNS filtering and IP- and VPN-blocking, but these catch-all approaches are guaranteed to impact law-abiding users and web hosts as well. To analogize, it's a bit like trying to catch a minnow with a giant trawling net. At the end of the day, you may have all the minnows in the sea, but you're also going to harm the dolphins, whales, and other fish species."

  7. #Google opposes #siteblocking in #Europe, arguing it causes significant harm and should not target #DNSresolvers, #VPNs, or #sharedIPs. The company believes #blocking is ineffective, disproportionate, and risks targeting legitimate services. Google emphasises that the real solution to #piracy lies in providing superior #legalalternatives to meet consumer demand. torrentfreak.com/google-oppose #tech #media #news
